"'You shall not commit adultery.'" (Exodus 20:14)
Beyond just warning us against physically adulterous relationships, the Lord commands us not to adulterate the truths from His Word. Put simply, He wants us to stop hurting each other with the truth. If you think about it, you will realize that most of the conflicts in your marriage, and in your other relationships, come from at least one person unforgivingly pursuing the need to be right. Don't put being right ahead of being merciful. Truth is a sword given to us for the sake of liberating ourselves and those around us; when we use it instead to attack people, we are whoring the Lord's Word. Repent of spiritual adultery and pray to the Lord for a forgiving heart.
"'"And forgive us our debts, As we also forgive our debtors."'" (Matthew 6:12)
To see that this is so, read John 2:1-11, Matthew 5:27-32, and Secrets of Heaven 8904:1-2, and then listen to the full audio sermon.
